Yours, Mine & Ours (2005)

When it comes to a big budget remake of a classic flick, they need to up the sex appeal a bit, even if it is a family friendly affair!  This is especially good for the sake of this remake, because the original Yours, Mine & Ours back in 1968 because that had Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda, so they might as well swing for the fences with sex appeal in the 2005 version!  The story is quite similar to the original as it follows a widowed man, Frank Beardsley (Dennis Quaid) with eight children (yes, 8!), who runs a military style tight ship around his household with chores, activities, dinners all scheduled and pre-planned.  Then Frank runs in to Helen (Renee Russo), his old high school sweetheart, and the sparks are continuing to fly between the pair.  Helen has a secret of her own as well... She has ten children, who pretty much live in loving chaos the majority of the time!  So when this pair reunite and decide to make a go of it in one household, they need to do it with 18 children in total, crammed into a single house, different ethos on how to run the household and sure enough, things get a bit messy!  It's an ageless trope that has worked plenty of times in each generation, be it Brady Bunch, Step by Step, or Yours, Mine & Ours (2005).  Lucky for us though, primetime Dennis Quaid heads up this household and does it without a shirt sometimes and his oldest son is none other than the sexy Sean Faris, who also doesn't need a shirt, pretty much ever!
